He soon realizes that his kingdom's problems are nothing compared to the horrors living beyond the stone walls. Despite destiny going against him, Jacob continues pursing his impossible dream through miserable trials and unravelling dozens of mysteries about his world.

Life is dark and meaningless. That's what it had taught me every single day I'd been cursed to live it. But now, finally, that would all end. My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

A story about many heroes fighting for the same cause.. To save the universe! But.. From what? And how did things end up this way? Book 0 covers this, and is currently ongoing.

Kazuki Tanaka, a typical young adult living in modern-day Japan, leads a mundane life working a part-time job and immersing himself in his hobbies. Little does he know that his life is about to take a dramatic turn when he steps into his apartment after a long day. Complaining about the monotony of his job, Kazuki picks up his bag, which contains his laptop and other groceries. As he opens the door to his apartment and flicks on the lights, he briefly closes his eyes, expecting the familiar sight of his living room. But when Kazuki opens his eyes, he is no longer in his small apartment. Instead, he finds himself standing in a vast space bathed in daylight, with a grand mansion looming before him.

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

Waking up in the Warring States period is a death sentence. Waking up as an Uchiha during the height of their bloody feud with the Senju is even worse. My name is Gen. Adopted into the main family, I spend my days navigating a minefield. My older cousin, Madara, is a legendary prodigy carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. My younger cousin, Izuna, looks at me like he wants to slit my throat—mostly because he can’t beat me in a spar. But they aren't my biggest problem. Sealed inside my mind is an entity—a rigid, demanding construct that calls itself a 'System.' It wants blood. It wants conquest. It threatens absolute erasure if I don't follow its script to become a tyrannical overlord. But throwing my life away on the front lines is a fool's errand. If this thing wants a mastermind to rule from the shadows, I’ll give it one—but on my own terms, in my own time, and with a court of my own making.

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. And... humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air... as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power... No future... Tyler was born into that world... a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon... Not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend to become the strongest demon. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/nQEBsk3ZGX *** #Yandere_MC #Complex_Characters #No_Harem #Dark #Rare_Bloodline #Magic #Slowburn #Fated_Love #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #Runic_Sorcery #Evil_FL

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!

Waking up in the body of a 6-year-old boy a few years before Cintra is destroyed, Madara receives a system that gives him the ability to gain the powers of Uchiha Madara. [The peak of Uchiha Madara's system is before he becomes the ten-tails jinchuuriki.] The system's percentage does not stop Madara's power, but rather the system's release. After all, I don't want to see a character who goes around killing everyone from the beginning of the story.

In a world where absolute power attracts the wrath of gods and cosmic executioners, Dan Shula is the ultimate anomaly. Born from the union of a dragon and a human king, Dan carries an unstable, world-shattering force known only as the Error. To survive and keep the universe's apex predators off his scent, he keeps his true strength buried deep. But every time danger closes in on the people he loves, the monster inside stirs, begging to be let loose. At his side stands Areia—the fierce, white-haired knight who would follow him to the end of the world, and already has more times than either can count. Their bond is messy, deep, and unspoken; the kind of connection where a single glance speaks volumes that words never could. Together with a ragtag crew—a guilt-ridden hero, an ancient elf, and a fallen angel who is hilariously bad at being holy—they navigate a treacherous world of slumbering gods, royal betrayal, and old scars that refuse to stay buried. Some promises are worth chasing across continents. Some powers are worth fighting yourself to control. And some bonds are worth every bit of chaos they bring. What happens when the boy who spent his life running to protect everyone... finally stops running?

“If only I had known of the dark days ahead, I would have said no.” Three hundred years ago, the sun was devoured by the Silver Moon, an unknown celestial being that descended from the endless dark of the stars. It claimed the sky for itself and unleashed a ceaseless horde of monsters on mankind, the Qilesh. For centuries, the Empire stood against this horror, fighting in the name of their lost god, Harras. Every child of the Empire has to do their part to free the sun from the Silver Moon's grasp. Liron wants to do so, too, but his black hair marks him as an outcast, a bad omen that will bring nothing but doom. After giving up on his dreams, he is chosen to become a Knight Dracon, dragon riders who have battled the Qilesh since the sun was stolen from mankind. But fate was never kind to Liron. Through a shared vision of the future, Liron is shown murdering the Emperor, with the Empire and their world in ruin. In his final moments, the Emperor declares Liron to be a traitor and orders his execution. Hunted by the heroes he once admired, Liron is forced to flee. His only refuge lies with the Resistance, a group of rebels determined to destroy the Empire. As he struggles to survive and grow stronger, Liron begins to unravel the many secrets behind the Empire, the war against the Qilesh, and the true nature of the Silver Moon. The same secrets that drove his future self to end it all.

For a thousand years, the Dawn Legion stood as the greatest order of knights in the known world. Sworn to protect the Seven Kingdoms, its warriors were more than soldiers. They were the chosen guardians of an ancient celestial force known as the First Light, a magic said to have been gifted to humanity by the gods themselves. Their sacred oath was simple: "While darkness draws breath, we shall stand. While the sun remembers its name, we shall endure." But kingdoms are not destroyed by monsters alone. Betrayed by the very crown they had sworn to protect, the Dawn Legion was branded traitorous and slaughtered in a single night. Its fortresses were razed, its sacred archives burned, and its surviving knights hunted across the continent. The world was told that the Legion had fallen. Twenty years later, darkness begins to stir beneath the ruins of the old empire. The sun rises later each morning, ancient creatures emerge from forgotten places, and magic once thought extinct begins to awaken.

This is the story of a girl named Elisa, a universal traveler from a planet in a distant galaxy. She possesses a hat with a mysterious power and past, which she will use on various odysseys not only across her universe but also throughout the entire multiverse. Along the way, she will meet and confront incredibly powerful beings, and she will also gradually discover more about herself, her hat, and all of creation around her, experiencing journeys, battles, and missions that will expand both her power and her mind... for better and for worse.

Some call it the “Age of the Supernatural.” In the ten years following the advent of this era, various superhumans emerged like mushrooms after the rain. Based on the different levels of power these individuals displayed, the nations of the world classified superhumans into five tiers. However, after being injured, Li Dong’s qi sense weakened drastically, making it difficult for him to use martial arts. Although his physical abilities still far surpass those of ordinary people, he has regressed to the “1st level.” Li Dong retires and returns to his hometown, only to find his fiancée with another man… #NTR #Netorare

In a world where shadows lurk unseen, Paritraan is not your typical hero. Born from loss and forged in hardship, he abandoned his dreams to support his struggling family—only to lose everything. Left broken after his mother’s mysterious death, he stumbles upon Anahata, a sentient machine from a forgotten civilization, who offers him more than just power—it offers him purpose. With scraps and technology far beyond human comprehension, Paritraan crafts his own suit of Armor and weapons to wage war against hidden enemies who threaten humanity from the shadows. As he unravels the dark conspiracy behind his mother’s death, he discovers that aliens walk among humans, and not all of them come in peace. But being a hero isn’t easy. Haunted by his past, hunted by unknown forces, and burdened by an AI that’s as playful as it is powerful, Paritraan must rise above his pain. Because in the fight for humanity’s future, even a hero forged from scrap can shine brighter than steel. In this battle between light and shadow, will Paritraan’s redemption be the world’s salvation?

Beneath a blood-red moon, a lone samurai fights a battle that seems destined to end in tragedy. As his comrades fall and darkness consumes the battlefield, one final clash leaves everything uncertain. But what if the end of one story is only the beginning of another? Far from the horrors of war, a young warrior stands at the beginning of a journey he cannot yet understand. With little more than determination and a world of possibilities before him, he must discover what it truly means to wield a sword—and what it means to protect the people who matter most. In a world shaped by ancient magic, powerful warriors, mysterious creatures, and forgotten secrets, every friendship carries meaning, every choice has consequences, and not every enemy is what they seem. As bonds are forged and dangers emerge, fragments of something unsettling linger at the edges of his understanding. A crimson moon. A battlefield. A darkness that refuses to be forgotten. And somewhere beyond the horizon, a fate waiting to be challenged.

Mana is the engine of the world. Most people are born with a single genetic key that unlocks it in one specific way fire, speed, force. One ability. One road. Walk it long enough and it becomes effortless. A young man attending court-mandated therapy for attacking his twin brother in his sleep, compelled by recurring dreams of a facility he has never visited, a massacre he has no reason to remember, and a girl with white hair and purple eyes who looks exactly like someone he knows while he is in world where the barrier separating realms has begun to fail, an ancient sorcerer of catastrophic power has escaped a centuries-old seal, elves are leaving their forests, dragons are crossing into human territory, and the person most likely to do anything useful about any of this is a twenty-something who insists repeatedly, to anyone who will listen that he is not a hero. He's just getting the job done. I will also be posting on Royal Road https://www.royalroad.com/profile/459828/fictions
